Lewis Wolfe Levy (13 June 1815 – 25 January 1885) was an English-born Australian politician.
He was born in London, the son of merchant Benjamin Wolfe and Martha Levy. He migrated to Sydney in 1840 and established himself at Maitland, also owning a store at Tamworth. In 1845 he married Julia Solomon; they would have fifteen children. In 1871 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly for Liverpool Plains, but he did not re-contest in 1872. He was elected for West Maitland in 1874, but again retired at the general election later that year. In 1880 he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Council, where he remained until his death in Sydney in 1885.[1]
